Upchuck
"It's kind of exciting and shocking."
---First, upon learning that Upchuck's planet is extinct.
Tough night last night for First, two hours of pretty active stress and upset anticipating my being out tonight (to see Matt Pond PA!) and doing his best to convince me to change my mind.
This morning, taking a shower and then blow drying my hair (which I am starting to do these days as my hair goes through yet another awkward growing out phase) proved to be nearly meditative activities.
I had to laugh that I was feeling zen with a roaring piece of electrified plastic in my hands.

I like Upchuck. He's kinda cool.
Have fun tonight. I'm sure First will be fine and he needs to know that sometimes Mommy's need to get out and have a little fun and then they come back all lovey and kissey.
It's actually not Upchuck, it's Cannonbolt.
Did you read the Introvert book and/or the Highly Sensitive People book? I think either one or both had something on how to help kids with the anxiety of the parent going out.
I haven't read them yet, but I have thought about them in the past few days :-) Thanks for letting me know.
